I had Mac System 7.1 running like gangbusters on my Amiga 3000. Set it up to run Encore for scoring and printing, ran as a separate "task" in it's own window. I don't even remember the name of the application. This was ages ago, not too long after System 7.1 was released. Back to the off topic subject... It's doubtful that a x86 version of OS-X exists.. if there is, and it is leaked or (even more doubtful) ever released it will be hacked, of that I am sure. :-) Howard http://www.dakotacom.net/~hwooten/ http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/167/cool_breeze.html
